Klezmer

Yes, it's Martin again, but this time playing some Klezmer! Klezmer is one of the greatest genres of music around. It also doesn't hurt that it often features the clarinet so predominantly.

Giora Feidman is one of the greatest Klezmer players of all time. Check out his recordings for some great fun. Klezmer is so unique in that in emulates singing so well. It really is fascinating and has to bring a smile to your face.

For those of you curious about how to get into Klezmer, check out this article by talented clarinetist and professor at Miami University (Ohio). It is all about how the origin of Klezmer and how to get started playing it. Enjoy!
